After six years of defensive action for Newcastle, Steven Taylor had this to say.

"I've read every week that next week Alan is going to be named manager. Then Joe Kinnear is going to get the job, then Kevin Keegan and then Alan Shearer again. I don't get it. The club is a joke." football365

Well then.

Most people couldn't be pressed to think of a better way to cut ties with a club. But with the way things have been going in the northeast, this is hardly a surprise. In fact, it's almost as if we've been waiting for someone to just come out and say it. So really, the first step towards a healthy recovery is recognizing your club is a ridiculous laughing stock sham. Just ask Obafemi Martins.

It happens to the best of us at some point. Once you've hit rock bottom, you've got nowhere to go but up. Just a minor set back really, they'll be back where they belong in no time. Right?

Edit: Oh man, this just gets worse. Playmaker winger Jonas has just come out to 'vow that he joins the exodus out of Newcastle'. You can't really blame him, as he will be looking to cement his place in the Argentina squad for a World Cup ticket. Goodbye miserable cold and horrendous football, hello Greek sunshine.
